Ferreters need to move with the times

[The one 8,483]

Do ferreters need to move with the times ?

 

Theres nought wrong with hemp nets ive hundreds ,but shouldn't we be using brightly coloured nylon ones? they dont need drying and you shouldn't loose one unlike hemp which unless its like a bowling green you can loose one .More so when where starting ferreting early and finishing later in the year .

 

And everybody should have the mk3 locator? better range and a search facility than the mk1 ?

 

Should we be right on the edge of cutting technology ??

Just for a few rabbits ???

If money is no object then yes but realistically no. Who is going to throw 100 hemp nets away and replace them with bright coloured nylon ones.

good question but for me use what makes things easier and still enjoyable but its probably a combination of old school field craft and new technology but its easy to get carried away and buy the newist item on the market probably catches more ferreters than rabbits. but then again ferreters use to feed bread and milk to ferrets but advances in diet and food soon changed all that so like i said if you can get a postive uses in new tecnology then why not but if your happy with your kit and it works why change it.

well past times served us well and they got big catches.i dont like nylon tangle to easy.hemp for me and as for locators,well not knocking anyone who uses them but i think their a load of shite.Oh and dont respond with abuse please,as i said nothing against anyone having one i myself bought one after joining site after all the hype,but not for me.

I'm not overly keen on them either, rarely use one.

Yep I agree Raiderboy. Im also new to the game, Ive little experience, a lot to learn and probably the hard way!

Theres no harm in the old ways or tools probably put just as many rabbits in the bag i was just wondering yesterday while ferreting in cover and it was deep i just wondered how i'd get on with top of the range gear ,As id never see a hemp net there i was using bright red nets

A mk3 box is a must have item surely as you can use the search facililty and find your ferret and you dont have to walk over the burrow ??

Nets with sliders as they close faster ??
